So far, Epic Games has spent at least 1 billion on exclusive products on its gaming platform

As of September 2019, Epic Games has signed an exclusive contract to release 105 games for the Epic Games Store, costing the game company more than $ 1 billion. The above figure is extracted from the document related to the lawsuit between Epic and Apple which is still ongoing, and in the near future, we will see even more numbers related to Epic’s “burning money” activities.

Specifically, in the October 2019 Strategy and Efficiency Review, Epic has spent $ 444 million on exclusive game releases. In addition, the document also confirmed that in 2019, Epic spent $ 542 million to exclusively buy other games of other brands. As of September 2019, Epic has spent another $ 52 million to buy four more exclusive games released this year.

Epic’s spending money to compete is not new, but the $ 1 billion buying rights to publish the game every 12 months startles people. Obviously Epic doesn’t see that much, as they will still be pursuing such a model that attracts players.

Epic plans to sell 52 more exclusive games in 2021, 36 games in 2022, 34 games in 2023 and 34 games in 2024. In addition, Epic will continue to play free games to subscribers. using the Epic Games Store.
